Growers association, Mr.. Towers, Of
Kansas City, and Mr.. Sanders. of St.

Cleveland today in relation to the
pleuro-pneumonia bill now pending in

Illinois. They represented to the pres

an area of;about 100000 acres and in

Mayor Hewitt was asked the other day
how he earned his first money. He said
that he got it by reading to a rich man
some three or four hours day for year.
He did not get the appointment by influ-
ence, but by competitive examination. The
man came to the school and heard the boys
read, and made his selection of Hewitt as
the best reader. He was then but sixteen
years of age. For his years reading he
received the munificent compensation of
SIS. Ten dollars of this sum was used to
buy his students gown, and the other s.
was kept by his mother for incidental ex-
penses. During his college years Mr..
Hewitt worked about seventeen hours a
day, engaged in teaching or coaching other
students. At the close of his college career
he had saved about $1,000. With this he
went on European tour, and on his re-
turn he had s. of it remaining.

There are also some guns under con-
struction which are expected to ac-
complish great results on somewhat
new theories, as in the case of the one
manufactured for Colonel Hope. This
is to take an enormous powder charge,
and to have correspondingly great
penetrative effect. But without going

achieved are sufficiently astonishing

Partisan threw away his cigar. But il
smoking was not allowed, neither was it
permitted to address the Emperor, and
scarcely had the latter passed out of sight
when two police officers approached the
traveller, and he was soon on his way to
the station, where he remained until ten in
the evening in the society of the thieves
and drunkards who had been arrested the
previous night. When the superintendent
questioned him he told his story; how an
officer in Generals uniform who was pass

cigar, and that he had at once done so.

initial velocities in high-power guns
have been increased to g 100 feet; pro-
iectiles at the maximum weight as

HAYDN'S SKULL.
The Story of the Mysterious Theft from
the Great Composers Grave.

The Story of the Mysterious Theft fir ON
the Great Composers Grave.
At meeting of the Berlin Anthrop-
illogical Society recently were exhibit
ed a plaster cast of the skull of Joseph
Haydn and 'photosrams' of the
skulls of Beethoven and Schubert.
Haydn died on May 81, 1909. during
the French occupation of Vienna In
1920 his remains were eNhumed in or
der to be transported to the family
vault of the Esterhazy, at Eisenstadt
and the body in the coffin was found
to be headless. A search was made in
Vienna among collectors, devoted to
craniology, a skull, supposed to be
Haydn's, was found and buried with
the body in Esterhazy vault.
An interesting contribution to the
strange story is now made by Herr
Frank. a Viennese journalist, who
publishes a document purporting to
have been written on June p. 1882. by
Johann Peter, governor of the impe-
rial and royal prison, and narrating
all the facts about the abstraction.
According to this story, Peter was a
phrenologist and stole the head of
Haydn in order to corroborate the
theories of DIR. Gall. Together with a
secretary of Count Esterhazy named
Rosenbaum, Jungermann. the director
of Vienna lyceum, and Ullman,
civil service functionary, he went to
the cemetery a week after Haydn had
been buried and despoiled the grave.
Then he goes on: The coffin was
opened. the head severed from the
trunk and taken to a garden / had in
the Leopoldstadt. There I had the
osseous box macerated and bleached
with the utmost care, and when the
moment came for studying it l
found the bumps denoting the fac
ulty of music perfectly developed ac-
cording to the indications of Dr.
Gall I also noted on the nasal bones
the traces of the polypearian tumors
from which Haydn suffered SO much
during his lifetime. After which 1
had n casket made of vanished wood
in the form of sarcophagus orna-
mented with the gilt Tyre wherein I
deposited this precious skull The box
was lined with velvet and the skull lay
on silken cushion"
When the search was made in 1920
Peter was suspected. and being prom
ised immunity from punishment he
applied TO Rosenbaunl, to whom he had
given the relic. Rosenbaum handed
him skull with the assurance that it
was Haydn's and it was given up to
the police and buried. On his death
bed Rosenbaum sent for Peter and told
him that the true skull had not been
given up. He handed it over to Peter
with the suggestion that on his death,
he bequeath it to the Conservatory of
Music This disposition was made of
it, but by a later codicil it was given
to DR.. Halter, who presented it to the
Anatomical Museum in Vienna, it's
present custodian.-N y Tribune.
